Adobe Generation Professional: Digital Creativity

Deadline Extension: The course will now close 1 week later than planned on December 2 at 11pm UTC.

Course Overview

This free five-week course introduces educators to the basics of digital media creation in an intensive, hands-on collaborative experience. Learn to create digital images, graphics, video, publishing and even a website using the latest Adobe tools, and explore best practices for integrating digital media into your classroom.

All the content you produce can be used to model good practices within your own university, college or school. Each week of the course will introduce you to a new theme and in weeks 2, 3 and 4 we will meet an industry expert from the world of digital design. As a result, you’ll become more confident with cutting-edge digital tools, more effective as a teacher, and more of an inspiration to your students.

This course is part of a series of Adobe Generation Professional courses designed to help educators become creators, not just consumers, of digital media. Throughout the series, you’ll learn new tools and techniques, explore best practices for teaching and learning, and unleash your creativity to help drive student outcomes. Drop in for one or engage in many, but we guarantee this series will help you and your students take your digital skills and creativity to the next level.
